Montbell's Roll-Up Closure System backpacks

Roll-up waterproof backpack, Alpine Light Pack 40 (NV)
Waterproofing is essential in rainy conditions. Enjoy outdoor activities comfortably with a backpack that offers excellent waterproofing and is easy to use.

Waterproof protection and easy access

A rain cover is a common way to protect a backpack from rain. However, it can make the pockets and main compartment harder to access, so it is not always the most practical solution.
A roll-up closure system with a waterproof inner bag offers a simple answer. It helps keep your gear dry in any weather, without the hassle of putting on a rain cover every time it rains. Simple and easy to use, it also allows quick access to your belongings whenever you need them.

Two layers of fabric for extremely high water resistance

Roll-Up Closure System with excellent waterproofing and ease of use


The Roll-Up Closure System is combined with the Aqua Barrier Sack. The simple pattern of the backpack's main body has minimal seams to reduce entry points, increasing water resistance. The Aqua Barrier Sack is made using a waterproof material with seam sealing. The Roll-Up Closure is airtight, helping ensure water does not enter the main compartment.
The main compartment is NOT waterproof.

The Aqua Barrier Sack

Alpine Light Pack 40 (NV) and white Aqua Barrier Sack

Detachable waterproof inner bag


The Aqua Barrier Sack is specially designed to nest perfectly inside the backpack's main compartment. The opening of the Aqua Barrier Sack has Velcro tabs that mate with the Velcro tabs on the opening of the backpack. This allows you quick access to your pack's conents because opening your backpack simultaneously opens the Aqua Barrier Sack. This system also allows you to quickly remove the entirety of your pack's contents because you can slide the Aqua Barrier Sack out of the backpack. This is especially useful for situations where your backpack may be wet and you want to keep the inside of your tent dry. Simply slide out the Aqua Barrier Sack and leave your wet backpack in your tent's vestibule.
Backpacks equipped with an Aqua Barrier Sack provide excellent water resistance, but are not designed for underwater use.

Quick access to the main compartment

Since there is no top lid, just unbuckle it for quick access to your pack's contents. To close it, simply roll the opening two or more times and buckle it.

Wide opening for easily access to main compartment
